M'aiq the Liar...

Post by drumgodrob »

Spoiler:
... is in Skyrim!!
A journalist from RipTen wrote in his preview that he found him on the way to Winterhold with nothing but his usual robe on in the freezing blizzard :lol:
It is also confirmed that he still travels around like in Oblivion, not like Morrowind (the guy waited to see if he had any more rumors to share but he was looooooong gone.
And thanks to River for posting the article, otherwise i would never have seen it! :D
For the glory of the Aldmeri Dominion!

I love him.
Me: "So, how did you get this rich?"

Me: "I've just spent some days chopping wood."

Thats so awesome. M'aiq was the best. He should end up being someone really important in the elder scrolls and he should tell stories of your character in oblivion. Kind of similar to the log book on dive rock about the Chieftain of Thirsk.
M'aiq could be a daedric prince in in disguise :shock:

Wait a tick.
He said he'd seen dragons and maybe one day the player will see a dragon too.

Either that's the most amazing coincedence ever or Bethesda is truly crafty.

ARGGHHH!!!!!!
Sorry about that. But this isn't the first appearance of dragons. First, they were in Daggerfall (not fully grown, but still). Then, there was Nafaalilargus from Redguard. Hell, even Oblivion had a dragon in it. Does no one remember the ending sequence of Oblivion? The Avatar of Akatosh counts. The only way to prove this is to have Bethesda confirm it.

It probably is just a coincedence.

Maybe he will actually have real info, but guides you the wrong way. Like(Morrowind example): "Seyda Neen is in the Sheogorad region" while Seyda Neen still exists, but is not in the Sheogorad Region.

As documented on the wiki page for M'aiq the Liar (which I may or may not had made), he seems to offer the same kind of advice that he did in Oblivion.

What I'm wondering is the lore behind his still living... but then I consider what I thought up for another thread:

He was in Morrowind and Oblivion, so I do not see why they would not have him in the game again.

M'aiq knows much, tells some. M'aiq knows the ending to the main quest in Skyrim. He will not tell you it though.

perhaps M'aiq is a deadric prince :roll:

Love that he's back, i wonder if he'll comment on the fact that you can't chose your class, or why necromancy is (now more?) accepted in skyrim after the arcane university banned it all together.

It's because the Mages Guild no longer exists. I assume one of the splinter factions, the Synod or the College of Whispers, supports Necromancy.

It's all because AKB was such a poor Arch-Mage.

Must be.

He's a funny little Easter Egg that a lot of people like.

Yeah, that's true. Sorry guys. It was also my idea to use Umbra to stop the moon... I was also the head of the body guard for all of the Emperor's sons... I was ordered to guard the Heart of Lorkhan alongside Dagoth Ur, and I cut work early that day... I was the Emperor's original mail courier... I used to be a guard at a museum, and I entirely lost track of an exhibit. I never did find out what happened to the Staff of Chaos...

He is flirting with the Fourth Wall. It is as if he is not talking to your character but to you, the player.. This makes him unlike any other NPC.
